I am reluctant to post this recipe from my ex husband, because I think the yeast in it is a problem. However, there are many families that rely on pizza for their kids, so I share it. We do better with a gluten free english muffin with sauce (red or garlic white) with non dairy cheese.
Ingredients:
1 packet of yeast
1 tbs. Salt
1 1/2 cup Warm Water
1 tbs. Olive Oil
4 cups of rice flour
Directions:
First make Pizza dough – takes about 10 to 15 minutes
1 – take one yeast packet and one tablespoon of salt and add to 1.5 cups of warm water
2 – mix in water thoroughly and let sit for 10 minutes.
3 – add 1 tablespoon of olive oil
4 – add 4 cups of rice flour
Mix well – I never use a hand wisk since it just get stuff in the wisk. A spoon or flat knife work best
Dough is ready immediately though overnight will let it rise a bit with air.
A rolling pin works better than hands for making sure there are no air bubbles
Makes 2 pizzas, 14 inches – I split the finished dough and freeze half
TIP: when you go to use the dough (esp after overnight) it is sticky – lightly flour hands and cooking tray and it will stretch and flatten easily.
For a pizza simply add sauce and toppings – there are a few varieties of dairy free cheeses.
Important: Regular pizza dough cooks in preheated over at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes. Homemade rice flour dough needs to cook longer, perhaps 3 to 5 minutes longer. Watch closely. For crispy crust use flat try well floured to cook on for first 8 minutes and then slide pizza directly onto rack for finish
Note: If you are taking GFCF to the next level you may want to avoid the yeast in this recipe.
